WTCI channel 45 (analog) and channel 29 (digital) is the PBS member station for Chattanooga, Tennessee and the Tennessee Valley.

The Tennessee Department of Education began WTCI on March 4, 1970; it's now operated by the Greater Chattanooga Public Television Corporation, a non-profit community organization, which assumed the station's license in 1984.

WTCI offers a diverse mix of programming and cultural entertainment shows from both local and PBS resources to viewers in four states. However, some network program duplication occurs with northwest Georgia's GPB station, WCLP-TV, seen in much of WTCI's coverage area.
